  1. Dave Barry has snakes on the brain

    As is widely stipulated, Dave Barry is a very funny guy. He was hysterical when he wrote his nationally syndicated column for the Miami Herald, for which he won a Pulitzer Prize in 1988, and is arguably even more droll in his madcap novels set in South Florida. The latest of these, “Insane City” — his first solo fiction in a decade after a best-selling series of Peter Pan tales co-written with Ridley Pearson — features the usual Barryesque panoply of ribald pranksters, addled taxi drivers, gangsters, strippers and pimps. There's also a big wedding coming up, said nuptials potentially interrupted by the arrival of a raft carrying a desperate Haitian refugee and her two children, an orangutan named Trevor and an 11-foot albino Burmese python named Blossom. Hilarity ensues, naturally, although with more than a wisp of serious content hiding in Barry's well-constructed thicket of comedy.

  3. Dave Barry's 2012 Year in Review

    It was a cruel, cruel year &mdash; a year that kept raising our hopes, only to squash them flatter than a dead possum on the interstate.
    It was a cruel, cruel year — a year that kept raising our hopes, only to squash them flatter than a dead possum on the interstate. Example: This year the "reality" show "Jersey Shore," which for six hideous seasons has been a compelling argument...

  4. An epic kids' rhyme from 'Hunger Games' director Gary Ross

    It began as a favor. It became an obsession.
    It began as a favor. It became an obsession. It was 1996 and screenwriter Gary Ross got a call from a desperate friend. Out of time and money, director David Koepp was in frantic need of a children's story to complete his movie feature debut, "The...

  5. An easier way to go

    The most dreaded part of a colonoscopy is prepping for it. The day before the exam, patients often drink large amounts of a vile-tasting liquid, then it's off to the throne for the better part of the day and night.

  6. Miami Book Fair weekend: Literally yours

    It's not even the weekend, and the Miami Book Fair International has so far delivered a who's who of celebrated authors in Tom Wolfe, Junot Diaz, Sandra Cisneros and others. Literary giants though they are, consider them a palate cleanser to what really draws the glut of book lovers to downtown Miami: The weeklong fair's most-popular and best-recognized feature, the open-air sprawl of booksellers and music known as the Street Fair.

  7. In a New York state of mind

    I was in New York City last week.
    I was in New York City last week. On Tuesday, Election Day, CNN had big screens in Times Square, and I joined the folks watching the returns. We cheered a lot, especially when CNN turned cameras on us. On Wednesday, a nor'easter struck NYC. I can't...

  10. Wrong-way Warrior

    The Road Warrior w/Dan Hartzell
    I drove off the road in the May 21 column when I said the I-78 interchange at Rock Road, known as the Summit Lawn interchange, does not provide access to the westbound interstate. I had it in reverse gear: There's no access to EASTbound I-78 from Summit...

  11. Always in mind, if rarely in tune

    Tuesdays with Mitch
    The band broke up. We hit the final chord. We heard sweet applause. And then, after 20 years together, we walked away. There was no fighting. No "musical differences." You need to be musical to have musical differences. We were not really musical....
